Garages to be demolished for affordable housing
GoogleA row of garages are to be knocked down to make way for 13 council homes.
The site on Kesteven Road in Stamford will be converted into eight one-bedroom flats, three two-bedroom terraced houses and two two-bedroom bungalows.
Five of the garages will be kept and off-street parking and electric vehicle charging points will be provided for each of the homes.
The application was approved unanimously by South Kesteven District Council subject to conditions.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, councillor Paul Fellows told the planning meeting on Thursday the development would make better use of a site which is largely unused.
He added it could also help to address "antisocial behaviour" issues in the area.
